Default Test drove the new cobalt ss

well i decided to break down and go test drive the new cobalt ss, and i was pretty dissapointed on its get up.....but i do have to say the car handled pretty well, and had a very smooth ride. the transmission felt good, i didnt like the clutch to much, the stereo is awesome, and i like the interior styling. The car is fairly quiet, and when i got on it i felt like i was going to break it. but overall i think the car is nice, i just wouldnt pay the price that is on it, i am more in love with my SRT4.... my srt is much much more fun to drive.

thats just my .02

The SRT lineup makes the SS lineup looking like a steaming pile of shit. This is coming from a chevy man too.

I've heard talk of how good they handle compared to SRT4's, but I think people underestimate the handling of SRT4's due to the fact that they have the center of gravity of a dumptruck. They sure as hell arent winning Touring II with shitty handling, and its definitely not the power thats making them win against M3's, LS1's, and tons of other cars.

It's a Ford Tranny, did you seriously expect it to be good?
